Flying Colors

Its really awesome. Drama, school, family, studying. All in One.

Hope more movie like this.

It was a very heartwarming and touching family movie. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. It managed to truly touch the real family life....the great expectation the parents have on their kids.

Really worth spending almost 2 hours watching this movie.

I inevitably compare this film with the former TV show Doragon-Sakura and its sequel. That's the reason why I chose to watch it.

The fact is, this film is not as good as Doragon-Sakura in many ways. The most serious one is the image of that key teacher. Kanji Sakuragi was so cool and determined in Doragon-Sakura, while in this film, the teacher was so weak and unimpressed. This disappointed me the most.

Another reason why this film performed poorer than DS is the length I guess. After all, 10 episodes showed a greater advantage than 2 hours in terms of atmosphere and depth.

All in all, this film didn't successfully transfer the spirit I needed originally. What a pity.

It started out kind of dumb as the main character, a stupid but cute airhead bimbo, was set up. But it did get better and a little deeper than it originally seemed. It's quite a cheeful and positive movie with some funny and charming moments.

A lots of teenage and coming of age movies don't touch with the subject of school materials. Usually they just focus on romantic relationship or broken hearted experience in high school. Well. You can expect differently from this one.

Sayaka Kudo, a pariah high school girl that only knew how to enjoy her life instead of studying, suddenly face the challenge to enter one of the most prestigous university in Japan. She had only one year to make that happened. Her mother asked help from the golden heart tutor Tsubota-san to assist Sayaka in her impossible quest. Can they make their dream come true?
